An Endearing Time

The work of a Supermodel is always relating to their star as a sex symbol or global celebrity. They are still high fashion models but with more advantages. Many are used in a ways that sell their beauty and fame in order to endorse any particular product, magazine or other advertisements. With their Supermodel ‘title’ they are able to influence those who look up to them.

So, in fact they are promoting themselves.

A great example takes us back to the 1960’s where the dominant standout was Twiggy. She was known back then and to this day for her big eyes, her short boy cut hair and twig-like waif figure. Her popularity grew to be known worldwide and she was named “the face of 1966”, by a British Newspaper. She was an idol in so many young women’s eyes that now she was able to influence them in a way that turned out to be unhealthy, unrealistic, and something that will always be known of in the sixties.

"Whether you're thin, fat, small, dark, blond, redhead, you wanna be something else," said the world's first boldface supermodel, Twiggy. "I wanted a fairy godmother to make me look like Marilyn Monroe. I had no boobs, no hips, and I wanted it desperately."

The media attention, photo shoots and magazines targeted at females were selling her beauty, style and trends. The ultra mini look was first made popular when Twiggy modelled it, starting the trend many girls soon followed around the world.



Since the 60’s the Mod look has come back and graced our runways of the 21st century. Giving inspiration for the new generation of females to be part of fashion history that will always be known.
Giving thanks to Twiggy, a Supermodel in many ways.







It only took the look of one young woman, to keep a style alive over 40 years later.
